Research Summary

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a versatile and widely used polysaccharide derivative derived from cellulose, a natural polymer found in plant cell walls. CMC is produced through the chemical modification of cellulose by introducing carboxymethyl groups (-CH2-COOH) onto its structure. The addition of these functional groups enhances the solubility and water-holding capacity of cellulose, resulting in a water-soluble, thickening agent with excellent rheological properties. CMC has various applications across industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and industrial processes. In the food industry, CMC is used as a stabilizer, thickener, and texturizer in a wide range of products, including sauces, dressings, ice cream, and baked goods. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a binder, disintegrant, and film-forming agent in tablet formulations. CMC is also utilized in personal care products, such as lotions and creams, for its viscosity control and emulsion stabilization properties. Additionally, CMC finds application in the paper industry as a coating and binding agent, as well as in oil drilling fluids and textiles. Its versatility, water-solubility, and ability to modify rheological properties make CMC a valuable ingredient in various formulations and processes.
